Set created folder permission on QNAP Transmission

Post by daninet »

Hello,

I'm running Transmission 2.94 on a QNAP NAS. The default download path is /Public which is a RW for everyone directory on the NAS.
The issue is, that the directories created by transmission are CHMOD 744 or even lower. I can read the files (for example a movie I have downloaded) but I cannot place a subtitle next to it, nor remove the file.
How can I set the default CHMOD of the created directories by transmission?

OK it seems that the owner of downloaded torrents is the transmission user. By going into the web file manager I can change permissions to 777 (linux arghhh) which then enables me to view the files.

I've added myself into a transmission group which I thought would sort it but that hasn't yet - could be a time issue

Also read that in the .json file file the "umask": 22, could be changed to "umask": 00, so I will do that and download another torrent to see if that sorts it as I don't want to have to set permissions manually all the time.
